Street-Level Youth Media is a non-profit, media arts literacy organization serving Chicago's youth. We teach audio engineering, mixing, video production, digital photography, online journalism, and more. If you are between the ages of 12 through 24, all of our programs and services are free.

If you live in Chicago and are between 12 - 24 years old, come take part in one or all of our media arts programs, book a private studio session, use our computer lab or join one of our clubs. We also host an open-mic on the first Friday of each month.
